NBA PLAYOFFS RND 1: NUGGETS vs. THUNDER - GAME 3

Nuggets Injuries:
Arron Afflalo (playing - ankle)
J.R. Smith (unlikely - dog house for -17 in 7 minutes)

Thunder Injuries:
none

After an embarrassing loss, Denver needs to win game 3 and probably game 4 to have any sort of realistic chance of beating the Thunder in the series still. Arron Afflalo's return will definitely help as long as he does not re-injure the hamstring (knock on wood). AAA returning to the lineup and the Denver crowd should hopefully help the team's motivation which looked off last game.

JR takes it back... too bad that didn't change his -17 performance in the 7 minutes he played last game.

Apparently Mozgov was not available the past 2 games but will also rejoin the team for this one. Still up in the air on if he plays at all.

Both home games are obv must win. A lot of momentum can be built in our favor from a win tmmrw. Hopefully Javie and Mauer or any other Nugget haters won't be in attendance.

In season's past this is about the point when Karl suspends somebody and the wheels fall of. Will this season be any different?

Going to the game tonight, can't wait. Love the atmosphere at Pepsi Center during the playoffs.

GO NUGGETS!

I'm keepin it real KAVK, that doesn't mean I don't want em to win. Karl and JR handled their war of words better than in previous years, we'll see what happens

Gallo has never made a transition bucket in his life, why he always goes away from the contact is beyond me.

Nice finish to the quarter, and damn it was nice to see Afflalo on the the floor again.

Imagine that, another bad call goes against the Nuggets.

edit: I think that was a make up call, Harden didn't push off imo.

All that time Perkins were on the bench there was not a drawn play for Nene ?

Martin being liability on the D end. Nene need decent passes down low in the second half.

I have no issues with the refs so far, they missed some calls both ways. I have issues with the coach and some of the lineups he is using. Why he is so in love with the 2 pg lineup for extended minutes is a mystery. It doesn't work.

Karl should be fired.

that is all i have to say.

Hopefully the team wins despite him
